Wheelchair leg rests are a basic yet essential accessory for most wheelchair users, as they provide additional support to legs and feet when seated in the chair. The leg rests are simple to attach or detach, and they can be moved from chair to chair so you always have them available. Legrests come in two different styles for the basic and light Spinlife wheelchairs that can be elevated or swing away legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users. The swingaway legrests are a great choice for a lot of people because they can be raised to a height that is comfortable and then reduced for transfers into and out of the wheelchair. The leg rests that elevate are ideal for those who needs their legs to be elevated and come complete with calf pads.
Heavy User Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated
The Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair With Elevating Legrests is made for those with bariatric issues who require leg rests. It is built with strong frame that can handle larger frames. This wheelchair is ideal for those who have larger needs. It has an adjustable seat that is up to 30 inches wide with it has a weight limit of 700lbs, a sturdy slide-tube silver vein steel frame, and swing-away detachable feet plates.
Elevating legrests powered by electricity are a common feature found on many wheelchairs, and enable the user to elevate their feet to a more comfortable position to improve circulation and reduce swelling. This kind of legrest can be raised and lowered by a single movement. Some models include a calf cushion for extra comfort. This is particularly beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritic issues because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.
The other kind of legrest is called an articulating legrest and differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it can be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it an excellent choice for people who have trouble with the angle of their knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be wider when it's elevated compared to when it's lower.
Since they are typically powered, the legrests with articulation do have an additional cost, and as such, you'll often see them attached to a higher-end wheelchair. This is due to the additional components required to power this type of legrest, including an actuator and motor. These extra components make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.
There are two primary types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests, swing away and centre mount. Both have pros and cons and it comes down to the personal preference of the user and their needs. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more susceptible to damage due to the fact that the actuator is situated just outside the legrest. This is the place where it is easily knocked over by other users and items in the room.
Centre mount legrests offer an alternative that is safer as they are fixed to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be impacted. They do not offer as many options for positioning and could be a hindrance for certain users. It is essential to speak to a healthcare professional about your options before choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to make sure that the best legrest is selected to meet your requirements.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are crafted to redistribute the pressure from the legs, and to prevent development of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs, and help maintain stability and balance. The cushioned leg rests are usually placed at the front or rear of the wheelchair and come with a variety of adjustment features. Some leg rests come with a swing-away feature that makes it easier to move into and out of the wheelchair. Others feature a telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to fit different lengths of legs.
The type of leg rest you pick will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests have motors, while others don't. Leg rests can also be adjusted to different angles, which could impact your sitting position and

Your medical condition will also influence your choice. Elevating legrests remain at the same height and are therefore good for those who can't bend their legs. If you can bend your legs then an articulated legrest could be a better choice. They will automatically adjust the length, meaning you don't have to adjust them manually.
We recommend you try the wheelchair before making the decision. This will allow you to select the best leg rest that is suitable for you and ensure that it will work well with the wheelchair you have chosen. It is also advisable to consult with your therapist prior to selecting any accessories for your wheelchair, since they will be able to guide you on the most suitable choices for you.
